Oxford’s Word Window: Week Three

We are in week three of our Word Window series in which we display an Oxford Word of the Week, culled from The Oxford English Dictionary in the windows in front of our NYC office on Madison between 34th and 35th street.

Last week’s word was: Oneiric adj.: Of, characteristic of, or relating to dreams; dreamlike.

In case you aren’t in NYC or didn’t get a chance to walk by the office here is what it looked like:

This week’s word is: Rashomon

Stop by the window to see its definition or check back on the blog next week!
